“Although an essential component of the richness of Portuguese auteur cinema, the percentage of films directed by women in Portugal is one of the lowest in Western Europe. Between 1946 and 2009, Portuguese women directors made only 40 feature films, or less than one film per year. On the scale of a modest national production such as Portugal’s, women’s access to the film profession (and more significantly to cinema than to other artistic fields) shows a flagrant inequality”.
